Hi,
The three parameters you need can be easily obtained or estimated.
For no hardware compression:-
length 20000 mbytes # Raw length using 170m AME tape
# (use up to 40000 mbytes with hw compression)
filemark 95 kbytes # From the Mammoth spec document
# (long filemarks to nearest kbyte)
speed 3000 kbytes # Max transfer rate from spec
# (up to 6000 kbytes with compression)
These parameters don't appear to be critical if not exact. I think they
are used mostly by amanda for estimation, and to report the percent
tape used, etc. Speed and length using hw compression will be modified
based on your local experience.
Hope this helps.
